Show Cue Programming & Playback Operation

Pre-programmed show playback for corporate townhalls, awards nights, launches, conferences, gala dinners, school concerts, and hybrid events. We prepare your media, music, videos, countdowns, transitions, and cue flow before event day, so your programme feels rehearsed before the doors open.

Built from your approved run sheet, media files, and rehearsal notes.

What We Pre-Program

Ideal for events where timing, transitions, and media playback need to feel polished rather than improvised during rehearsal.

Media Playback

Videos, music beds, walk-in loops, holding slides, countdowns, and intermission content.

Show Cue Flow

Cue-by-cue sequencing based on your run sheet, with standby points, transition logic, and fallback cues.

Rehearsal Confidence

Optional preview recording so your team can review the programme before event day.

Best For

⏱

Important Deadline

For full pre-programming, final run sheet and media files should be submitted at least 3 working days before the event.

Last-minute changes can still be supported, but they are handled as live show revision support during rehearsal or show operations.

Why This Helps

Most event issues do not come from the equipment. They come from transitions: the moment between a speaker, a video, a walk-up, an award reveal, or a holding slide. Pre-programmed cue playback makes those moments less fragile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as having a playback operator?
Not exactly. Programming prepares the cue structure before the event. A playback operator runs or adjusts it during rehearsal and the live show.

Can changes still be made on event day?
Yes, but changes made during rehearsal or show day are handled as live revision support.

What do you need from us?
Final run sheet, video files, audio files, holding slides, speaker order, award order, and any cue notes from the organiser or showcaller.
